Dental anxiety plays a crucial role in managing the children in the dental setup. Anxiety can occur due to various factors; multiple studies have stated that parenting styles affect children's dental anxiety and behaviour. These parenting styles can also influence the child's personality, psychological and social development. Hence, the present review is intended to summarize various parenting styles and attitudes that could affect the paediatric patient behaviour in the dental office. Furthermore, a wide range of new parenting styles which are not yet reported in the literature is also discussed.
